Cory Doctorow, science fiction writer and commentator, wrote an article for the November 2007 issue of Locus on creative commons licenses and what they really mean. I use a creative commons license for my work, but I have not always understood all the nuances of it, since the site where they are created doesn’t explain it very well. Doctorow gives a history of copyright law, explains the intent of creative commons and describes how the two interact in simple terms.
Any conscientious blogger should take time out to read this article.
